Self-Cleaning Microcavity Array for Photovoltaic Modules
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2018Development of self-cleaning coatings is of great interest for the photovoltaic (PV) industry, as soiling of the modules can significantly reduce their electrical output and increase operational costs. We fabricated flexible polymeric films with novel disordered microcavity array (MCA) topography from fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) by hot ...

Static concentrator photovoltaic module with prism array
Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 2001To obtain cost-effective photovoltaic modules, we have developed static prism-array concentrator modules consisting of prism concentrators about 4 mm thick assembled unidirectionally under a 3.2-mm-thick cover glass. Calculating the optical collection efficiency for the annual solar irradiation in Tokyo, we found that the theoretical efficiency of the ...

Module block fault locating strategy for large-scale photovoltaic arrays
Energy Conversion and Management, 2020Abstract In practical grid-connected photovoltaic systems, faulty modules for small-scale photovoltaic arrays need to be accurately located, while the same strategy to locate each faulty module for large-scale arrays would imply high investment cost due to a large number of sensors needed.

Flexible fluorine-based micro-lens arrays for photovoltaic modules
2012 IEEE Nanotechnology Materials and Devices Conference (NMDC2012), 2012We present the first flexible micro-lens arrays designed for photovoltaic modules that utilize fluorine-based film. These micro-lens are fabricated as a key component of increasing electric generation in the fluorine-based film. The rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) method was used for optical simulation.

Analysis of photovoltaic array with reconfigurable modules under partial shading
2012 38th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference, 2012Partial shading across solar arrays can significantly deteriorate maximum generated power. Typical arrays implementing a parallel-in-series architecture have bypass diodes integrated in the modules to reduce the effects of partial shading. In this paper, analysis is performed on the effectiveness of improving maximum power of a solar array comprising ...
